Only the bug report title "PVR UI inconsistencies" could be misleading since it doesn't emphasize that sorting by date IS NOT WORKING.
So I'm not sure to open a new bug report or to add something to that bug report to trigger some action or give info to the bug report owners.
(One of them is xhaggi who is very actively (re)working the usability of TV section at the moment - Great!! Many thanks !!!)
